سندر

سندر

Arabic

Etymology

Apparently from Ancient Greek σημύδα (sēmúda), a hapax attested in Θεόφραστος often glossed as birch. Perhaps borrowed into Arabic from a manuscript variant or elsewhere with a suffix such as a *σημυδάριον (*sēmudárion) with -άριον (-árion), or this ending is derived from popularity in Arabic, as in the example of سَفَنْدَر‎ (safandar, “box holly (Ruscus gen. et spp.)”).
